The distances in outer space are huge

Question

I don't think this is true

 

Answer 1

A light year (the distance light travels in one year) is 5.87849981 x 10¹² miles.

The width of the Milky Way Galaxy (ours) is 1 x 10⁶ light years.

That is 5.87849981 x 10¹⁸ miles.

Or

58,784,998,100,000,000 miles.

Approximately 20,000,000 other galaxies populate the known Universe.

 

Still think it is not true?

Answer 2

it is VERY true, relative to the scale/size of the planets.  Space is vastly.. well.. empty space :)
